High blood pressure, shaking, stomach spasms?

I posted this in the kidney section since I have been dealing with 'kidney stones' for 7 months now. Anyone else with kidney stones ever heard of this?


History- 21 y/o, non smoker, occasional drinker.

Been to the doctor about 3-4 times the past few months for 'kidney stones'. They still arent sure whats wrong- horrible kidney pain and blood in my urine... but normal CT scan. Going to a urologist on the 20th.

2 weeks ago my husband rushed me to the hospital... I couldn't stop shaking and my stomach kept spas-ming (My stomach would tense and untense constantly- almost like if you were laughing). My blood pressure is normal 120/60- that night at was 140/89. Again, blood in my urine.

Docs tested my blood- came back fine. Scratched their heads... Gave me saline..sent me on my way.

Has anyone ever heard of this??

Shannon I just answered you on your question about a Pheochromocytoma tumor.  Now, I just read this post and now know you are having these problems.  Just with what I know about Pheochromocytoma I would go to the website I told you about and look up a good endocrinologist who understands Pheochromocytoma in your area.  They have a huge list of Doctors that are recomended all over the place.  Go to them and be sure to get the plasma free met test for pheochromocytoma.  
   I had my pheo on my adrenal gland which rests on the top of each of our kidneys.  Your story sounds just like mine when I was your age.  I am no MD just lived it for way to long.  We don't have to die of Pheochromocytoma tumors anymore.  Most of us don't.  Many are in and out in just two days!  They have keyhole surgery.  If you have a Pheo the docs will treat you like a rock star honey!  Medical Miracle Girl!  Only about 800 of these tumors are found each year.  Go to that site and ask us all kinds of questions and we will help you thru this.  Take Care, Joele
